I have a WR takedown in .318 which I love. It has a Griffin & Howe mount with modern scope. It likes the traditional 250 gr bullet with the unbelievable ballistic coefficient. It is a wonderful plains game round and were it legal, I would not hesitate to shoot a buff with it.

“We sleep soundly in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm.”

I had read your earlier post about having bought a Westley Richards .318. It is heartening to note your satisfaction with it as a plains game round and your unhesitating endorsement of it for use on buffalo.

Ken Waters acquired a Westley Richards .318 bolt-action rifle in the 1960s, which had badly worn rifling. He had it rebored and rerifled to use .358 bullets. Read 'The Story of a Rifle', pp. 61-3 in Gun Digest 1985 (39th ed.) and you will see that it appeared to work out quite well.
